Purpose of meeting

1. WP 1 : Project management

RH to progress consortium agreement.RH to link updated Gantt chart from project Web pages.RH to finalise contract with ESYS to carry out evaluation work

SP to provide text for WP3 for interim report to JISC by 20040811

2. WP2: Modelling and Usability

PJ to make final amendment to Model for DC Application Profile (DCAP)
(20040606)

PJ to make final amendments to Model for LOM Application Profile (LOMAP)
(20040606)

Note after further discussion with users regarding requirements
for extended data elements it has been decided these will not be included
in Phase 1 development work.

PJ to prioritise final draft of Functional Requirements for the IE
Metadata Schema Registry (20040606)

PJ/RH: More Usage Scenarios for the IE Metadata Schema Registry need
to be developed, particularly for m2m usage. The document might contain a
section on more speculative scenarios using functionality not available with
current software. For example mapping between element sets; discipline specific
registries; dialogues with other tools.

PJ to move Functions of the IE Metadata Schema Registry to final version.

3. WP3: Registry Tools Development

Simon reported on work to converting the MEG Client to SWT. Various features
have been included: accessibility, re-sizing, single window display, some
functionality moved to menus, less emphasis on drag and drop. Overall a 'Windows'
look has been developed.

Some Help information will be required. Initially we will probably need;
how to get started, why use IEMSR, overview of how to use IEMSR

Need to ensure Simon has effort available to repond to issues that arise
as a result of Dave and Nikki's registry development work. In particular need
to have some of Simon's time to ensure everything working before the workshop.

4. WP4: Demonstration of m2m usage

PJ/RH: need to identify collaborator(s), possibly contact RELOAD;
Curriculum Online. We can progress this with support from ESYS.

5. Dissemination

After some discussion, we concluded that dissemination for the project would
focus on the tools developed,also on bringing together DC and LOM in a single
application. Dissemination needs to be planned for period after first release,
after workshop, when we have something to demo, and more time.

Two target audiences identified:

schema creators

developers of tools and services that might interact with IEMSR

Schema creators will be target of the November workshop; developers using LOM
can be covered by dissemination within MEG and CETIS meetings; we need to identify
opportunities to disseminate to developers within JISC IE, particularly services
and tools using DC,
